Vista - OK got a problem

OK I need help on trying to play older games like Warcraft 2, Starcraft, and
C&C Red Alert 2 on Vista by Lan or IPX Networking. Vista doesn't detect the
IPX on my computer, but my XP computer does? I would like to know how to get
these two computers to play each other over the network without useing the
internet.

StarCraft has an option for using UDP rather than IPX. I'll look into
installing IPX on Windows Vista.
